What triggers it

A contest or giveaway that requires entrants to save a specific Pin, allows multiple entries per person, or implies Pinterest sponsors it.

What Pinterest says

“Don't require people to save a specific image.”

How to fix it

Let people choose Pins to save based on their taste, allow one entry each, and don't imply Pinterest is involved.

Good to know

'Save this Pin to enter', 'repin to win', 'save as many times as you like for extra entries'.

Can FYProof spot it?
